Burmese aircrash kills all on board 

The Burmese government says all passengers and crew on board an airliner
that crashed in the border region with Laos this week were killed. 

It said the remains of the Myanmar Airways Fokker F-27 had been located in
an extremely rugged and isolated area, near the city of Tachilek. 

Officials have been informing relatives that there were no survivors. 

The number of people on board is uncertain: differing accounts give figures
ranging from thirty-three to thirty-nine.
